Bug ID: 434551 Summary: Kid3-3.8.4 sometimes deletes files that are not writable Product: kid3 Version: 3.8.x Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: uflei...@users.sourceforge.net Reporter: till2.schae...@uni-dortmund.de Target Milestone: --- Under some circumstances kid3 deletes files when tagging them. This happened to me when tagging files without padding that are not writable but can be deleted. The files where also placed on a samba share (I do not know if this is relevant). In this case kid3 showed a warning, that the file is not writable and the file was gone. It seems like kid3 writes a metadata_edit file and moves it over the original file when no padding is present. The metadat_edit file was also lost during this operation. Thus, it is impossible to restore the file without a backup. This happens quite often when using the internal preview feature to play the edited song or the file is accessed by some other application. Since it is a common approach to play a song in order to tag the genre, this happened more than once to me.
